Agricultural
Relative Value of Shelled
Corn and Corn Meal for
Hogs.
Tbo Wis. Agricultural Experiment
Station :tt Madison: lJrof
W. A. llenry and 1). H. Otit
made some valuable experiments
in fattening pigs on tshelled. cori
and corn meal.
In the ten years covered bv tin
experiment, eighteen tria's wer<
made wi'h a total ol 280 pigs
one half of tins number receiving
shelled corn as the principa
portion of the ration, and the
Other half corn meal.
The feed rtquired to product
100 lbs. ol gain varied from 36(
to 820 lbs. The poorest gains
for feed consumed were made it
trial 14 where corn alone was let
to young pigs averaging 84 lbs,
in weight at. the beginning of tlie
trial. Tiiis emphasizes what is
a common experience among ho.a
raisers, that an exclusive diet of
corn is not desirable with any
class of hogs and is especially
to be avoided with young pigs,
The evil eJFect of this kind of ration
was shown in the decreased
thrift, appetite, and gains, and ii
the large amount of feed required
to produce a 100 pounds o
gain.
The best gains for feed con
sumed were made with vounj
pigs in trial 16, where the grain
consisting of equal parts b\
weight, ol corn and middlings
was supplemented with a sraal
allowance ot skim milk. The pig
feeder is warranted not only ii
using a variety of grains, but will
find it to his advantage to add
skim milk to the ration whei
ever he can get it.
The totals and averages for the
ten years show that the MO pigf
receiving shelled corn as th<
principal ration ate 46,736 pounds
ol shelled corn and 22,590 lbs,
of wheat middlings, or a to'ai ol
69,326 pounds of grain, on which
they made 13S28 pounds oi
gain.
The 140 pigs receiving rori
meal as the principal ration at*
50,647 pounds of corn meal an<
24,189 pounds of wheat middlings,
<>r a total of 74,836 pounds
of grain, on which they made
15.S91 pounds ot gain.
The 140 pies receiving tin
corn meal ate 5,510 pounds mor<
grain and made 2,036 ponndf
more gain than the 140 pigs receiving
shelled corn.
The pigs receiving the shelled
corn consumed an average of 50 I
pounds oi grain lor each 100 lbs
o! gain.
The pigs receiving corn meal
consumed an average of 471 lbs
of grain per 100 pounds of gain,
thus producing 100 pounds of
gain on 30 pounds of less grain
than the pigs receiving shelled
corn.
Men Past Sixty in Danger
Mora than half of man kind over six'y
yearn of ago suffer from kidney and bind lor
Unorders, usually enlargement of prostate
glands. This is oofh painful and dangerous,
and Foley's Kidney Cure should bo
fatten at the tirst sign of danger, as it corrects
irregularities and has cured many old
men of this disease Mr. ltodney Burnett,
ltoekport, Mo., writes: "I suffered with
enlarged prostate gland ?r.d kiilncy trouble
for years and after taking two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better tb in I
have for twenty years, although I am now
01 years old."

1 Saving Your Seed.
I am enclosing you an article
on saving one's own seed. 1
have actually had such g'eat de*
mauds upon me for seed that I
s know this is a great subject. 1
* am tired out with answering
1 queries, hut 1 know it is a good
work. I think you might make
* this matter the subject of one of
* your talks in the editorial col
* umns
I see no good reason why far1
mors should toil on, making half
a crop, when a tew good seed
and carelul selection would cut
down their labor by half , oi in'
crease their profits by doubling.
With best wishes personally, and
1 hoping to hear from you on the
' subject, 1 am, as ever,
Fraternally yours,
J. C. McAulifFe.
Comment by the Editor:
We certainly endorse all that
r Mr. McAulifle says as t<> "saving
one's own seed " It is true good
. seed insures us a good stand and
[ increases our yield; but the care
i ful, and frugal habit it would en.
gender in our tanners would be
t worth equally as much. Care,
thrift, the habit of saving things,
these are things which a new
r country where land and everything
was abundant has not inr
stilled into us; but now a thickly
settled country and close compej
titiou demands that we develop
these virtues. It our farmers
j would say to theirsou ordaugliter
?1 will pay you so much a bushel
to select and properly save me
j so much corn, cotton seed or new
vegetable seed ; they could not
do a wiser thing. They would
reap a double profit, in having
the right kind of seed to plant
and would be giving the child
the very best training possible ?
Thnv should hp tnnrrht how to
I - -J -? ?' - J- -to1*- MU" k"
select and save each variety of
j. seed so as to increase the yield
arm improve tne variety if possible.
Lei them start by selecting
1 the best ears of corn from the
best stalks?the Lest bolls of cot
' ton troni the best stalks?saving
beans, melon seed, peas, squash,
cucumbers, English peas, etc ?
' We are not trying to rob our
seedmen?they will always find
i plenty to do. Tnis cire lor and
1 selection o! seed constitutes a
i very important part ol your farm
operation, and the question is?
are you giving it the attention it
; deserves. Nine-tenths ol ns have
no systematic method at all in
i saving our seed, tmt all of us
should have one. Begin this fall.

A Strong Plea for Rotation
of Crops.
It 8eetn9 that every force in
nature is trying to compel the
farmer to practice a rotation of
crops. If corn is grown lor several
years on the same plat, the
land will be infec'ed with all j
manner of insects from the root
worm and louse to t be insect that
oats the tassel. The farmer who|
irrows wheat year after year on
I he same plat of g-ound has 'he
Hessian fly and the chinch bug
to contend with; cotton planter
and tobacco planter each have
insects to fight and lungus diseases
to overcome because one
crop has been grown continuously
for a number of years 011 the
same plat If rotation is practiced,
these insects and diseases
may be held in check. It rotation
is not followed, no remedy
will destroy or overcome them.?

No Printers There.
(From the Philistine.)
The Columbus Penitentiary
N jws, lor many years a famous
and flourishing daily paper published
by convicts, has suspended
publication, for the very good
reason that there is not left in
that big penal institution a sin
gle man who can handle type.
Bankers are there ill plenty.
More than t wenty, and more are
on the way. Several convict
banks might be operated, with
men to spare.
Enough lawyers are there to
take '-are ol an enormous amount
of legal business.
Doctors, brokers and other
'' eminently respectable" citizens j
. are not lacking.
Bu-ine-s men, farm ts, mo/chanics
and representatives of
almost every other department
of industrial activity are common
t here.
But there is not one printer.
The fact throws new light on
a character tint has long been
or ramonly misjudged.
The printer does not pi his
I spiritual and moral lorm.
I The printer today is a home- i
I owner. lie is of fixed employ- i
; ment aud i?e has 110 time for late |
suppers and last rides in the
benzine buggy. He is?and al,
ways was?tar above tlit* average)
I man in information and intelli-j
gence. All the notable events]
of hitman life pass through his
hands and make impress on his
i brain.
The fact that more than twenty
bankers are in the Ohio pent
tentiary, and not one printer, (
tells of the relative honesty of
the printer of today?and tells
more, lor there are ten printers
in the land to one banker.
It shows us that the most com
I
mon and most dangerous crimes
of today are not being commit
ted by the world's workers.
